TUE IRISH BILLS.

Committee Stage the Dangerous Point for Co
amendments to the Land Bill.
LoNpoN, April 25.-Many members who have
been absent from the House of Commons during
the past week have returned. The government
calculates that a division on the motion to go
inso committee on the coercion bill will be taken
on Friday, and result in the former majority;
but the minsterialists, when the bill reaches
the committee stage, must be ready to accept
large amendments their majority may break
up. On the passage Of the coercion bill the
Right Hon. Hugh Holmes. Attorney-general for
Ireland will be raised to the Judicial bench of
Ireland.
The amendments to the Irish land bill, of
which notices have been prepared I'D to tonight,
already exceed the extraordinary number of one
thousand. 1t is becoming hourly more evidsnt
that the bill can never go on the statute book in
its present shape. The object of the vast ma
jority of the amendments is to compel modifca-
ton in the bankruptcy clauses and insure a fur
ther reduction of judicial rents Until this OBJ
ject is achieved. the amendments will be pressed
in due course to division This alone would rem.
der the passage of the measure. without modf-
cation, impossible during the present session of
Parliament.

the field as candidate in 1883 He
said that he was led to this conclusion not only
by personal considerations but because he
